White Lodge, Richmond

Located in Richmond Park, White Lodge is the home for students studying at the Royal Ballet School. It has a planned proposal to extend the existing boarding houses to provide an additional 22 accommodation units.

SRE developed the Energy Strategy by following the GLA Energy Hierarchy of Lean, Clean, Green and Seen in order to address relevant planning policy requirements. SRE’s building physics specialists also produced a Thermal Comfort Analysis to assess overheating risk.

SRE’s involvement during the early planning stage has meant the additional units will deliver lower energy and water use, lower carbon emissions and lower operational costs. A Low & Zero Carbon (LZC) Feasibility Study was carried out to provide a detailed analysis of suitable renewable energy technologies. The study illustrated to our client how they could achieve a 35% improvement over baseline CO2 emissions.
